Last April the Grafton d Green
brier railroad gave the b. d 0. $1l6,-
900 stock, and $4,000 first mort
gage bonds, in consideration that the
b. & O. would furnish $104, 900 to
continue the road to Belington. Par
ties interested in the G. & G.. obtain
ed and INDUCTION. At the last term
of the Barbour Court the b. e. O..
tried to remove the case into the l..
S. Court but Judge Ice refused the
petition, on the ground that the Il.
& O. is not nonresident. The b.
4 O. have instituted proceedings de
moro in the e. 5. Court. The b. IL
o. have exhausted ingenuity to pre-
vent decision on the point,-wheth
err they are nonresident? 1t is well
for our people to understand that the
B. & O. intend, if they can, to APP
propriate all lateral roads built by
local enterprise; the B. IL 0. regards
the territory dependent on it as its
private property. The Chew bill
would have at once liberated our
State: hence the railroads had their
lobby in Charleston to defeat the
Chew bill.

President Cleveland was invited
to the Grand Army Encampment at
st. Louis, but certain politicians,
who commenced to fight after the
danger was passed, objected; there
upon the invitation was declined.
Immediately the people of st. Louis.
without, regard to party assembled
in mass meeting and invited the
President to attend the State fair
during the first week in October.
The example of st. Louis was fol-
lowed, and meetings were held all
over Missouri to appoint a represent
alive delegation to visit ashington
and urge Mr.. Cleveland to be pres
ent. On last Monday, this delega-
ton, of some 300 representative Mis-
souri men, called on the President
and gave him a formal and urgent
invitation, which he accepted.

The Clarksburg News published
some prepared matter" which was
full of historical plumbers so glaring
that even children laughed. We
pointed out few of these plumbers
that were as shocking as to say,
Washington discovered America.
We thought the editor would be
thankful for even GLIMPSE of his
own ignorance. But he makes him
self still still more ridiculous by a
puerlle and senseless personal attack
on Mr.. j. NJ. Mason of this city, who
not only did not write the editorial
in question but most probably to
this day has never seen it. Small
fry newspapers like the Necs, have
very erroneous idea of Mr.. Mason
if they imagine that he fools away
his time with their nonsense;-he
hunts larger game. The Ners re-
fers to him as one of its subscribers;
surely this is a mistake; perhaps he
subscribed for one year only, when
the paper was under a different man
agement, and when such men as Jno.
J. Davis, Cruger Smith and Marsh
Turner were writing for it; and per-
haps it has been sent to him after
his subscription expired, but indeed
it is incredible that Mr.. Mason
should desire to read its present ed
itorials,-when they are original.
There is surely some mistake about
his being subscriber.

surfing Peyton Byrne a position in

There are some old fogies who object
to Senators using the Federal patron

very distinctly that when Byrne was
nominated for the House, we had Il

words omitted, it appears that Roger
certainly did testify:
That he copied the letter at Minear's
house after Minear had gone to bed, and
took the copy to McGraw. and subse-
auently went back and stole the origi-
nal and McGraw gave him check FOR
$50 besides $50 put in his pocket.
There is no possible way to escape
this record. The public will decide
whether McGraw and Mckinney
told the truth when they asserted,
REGER TESTIFIED TO NO SUCH STUFF.
There is no escape and no paliation.
If the Parkersburg Interview be cor
rect, the Collector and his deputy
stand convicted of wilful falsehood.
Then comes the question, whether
men convicted of wilful falsehood
are proper men to hold office in the
Internal Revenue Department? But
there are other questions:
Does the President know that his
Collector of Internal Revenue gave
Roger check for $50 and put $40
in his pocket for stealing a letter
from private house? Is the per-
son who pays for stealing a letter
from a private house fit person to
be Internal Revenue Collector?
These questions are submitted to
Mr.. Joseph Miller, who is response
BILE to the President for his Depart
ment.
There is another question, which
we submit to thoughtful mem
Have we not, among all the many
democrats in West Virginia, one

and of morals forbids him to hire
men to steal letters from private

rial on Rogers Letter.

Rogers letter, i'm another column,
merely reiterates his public statements
before, to the effect that his testimony
before the Minear committee has been
garbled and falsified by designing poll
ticians for sinister and partisan purpo-
ses. This much has been known for
some time, and we do not publish it with
any hope that Rogers statement will
stop the despicable lying on this subject
which few Republican editors, and one
who claims to be a Democrat, have con-
cluded to be necessary in their futile en-
deavors to drag honorable and reputable
gentlemen down to the same filthy level
in public estimation which they them
selves occupy; but publish il rather to
oblige Mr.. Roger, who desired again to
enter his protest against words being
put into his mouth which he never said
and could not have truthfully said. 1t
is true this statement convicts the DEM
ocRAT of lying. We do not care
to prolong discussion OH the subject
with such an individual. The public

The present number makes $50
issues of this paper that have gone
before the public, and each issue has
been read by intelligent men in every
county of the State. Ingenuity was
exhausted to hinder its circulation
and to break down the paper, but its
popularity, influence and circulation
has steadily increased until to day
it has, we verify believe, a larger
audience and exerts more influence
in West Virginia than any other pub
LEGATION. There has been an infinite
amount of denuneiatiOn and false
hood published about this paper, but
although we have kept the challenge
standing, no one has ever attempted
to single out anv statement by us
that was not true, nor has any one
ever pretended that any utterance
in these columns was undemocratic.

1T is very common remark, :"
said Mr. J. NJ. Meyer, of Tygart dis
.trict. Wood county, that farming
doesn't pay, and that there is moth
ing in it. ! have found that this
isn't SO On my small farm out in
Tygart district / have raised and
sold, this summer, $3.50 worth of cat
tie and 1915 worth Of grain, making
S1,105. Farming does pay if it is
managed properly.-Rdadolph En-
terprise.
1t is not how much You sell but
how much you clear. There is no
way to escape the fact that, taken as
a class, the farmers of this State are
not gaining in wealth as rapidly as
they did between 1850 and 1860. If
Meyer had hired out himself and
family perhaps he would have re-
ceived more money.

tween Benedict Arnold and George
Washington. Presently, the public
observed that O'Conor made ex-
plicit charges, which, when. investi-
gated, were always sustained by the
evidence; whereas Tweed's henchmen
made vague insinuations and infer
ences but never offered any proof.
The story is short and instructive.
Tweed died in the penitentiary and
his memory is infamous. Charles
OConor was selected rs 4 candi-
didate for President because his
standing popular estimation would
rally the virtuous part of the com
munity.
The day has passed, especially in
West Virginia, when mans stand
ing in public estimation is affected
by what is said of him in newspa-
pers.
3. The editorial, published by
these Internal Revenue officers, says,
that:
Roger protests against words being put
in his mouth which he never said and
could not truthfully have said.
We insist that the words be point
ed out against which Mr.. Roger
makes protest. Did he testify that,
"McGraw gave him check and put
money in his pocket for obtaining
the Scoheld letter." If he did not
so testiiy,-it is easy to say so. An
innocent man never objects to a qucs
tion that goes directly to the point,
and an innocent nan will never fail
to answer such question promptly.
4. The Internal Revenue newspa-
per says:
That stenographic report of precisely
what Roger said is in the office of the
Senate Clerk.
McGraw can obtain Il copy OF it
as conveniently as we can. We are
some three hundred miles distant
from the Senate Clerks office, and
and since Mr.. McGraw draws large
salary from the Government he can
much better afford the expense of
procuring the stenographers report.
Should that report vindicate the Col
lector this paper will very gladly
publish it; this paper will be de-
lighted if it can assure the people
that President Cleveland was not be-
traved when he selected Revenue
Collector for this State. We await
the stenographic report, and hope
that Mr.. McGraw will publish it.
). We observed that these FEEDER
al officers, do not care to prolong
the discussion" But unfortunately
they cannot stop it. There is but
one way to stop it;-publish an au-
thenticated copy OF the stenograph-
er's report of Rogers testimony.
